Abstract / Description

Mounk’s book is a wide-ranging survey encompassing Europe and the USA during the presidency of Donald J. Trump, who he identifies unequivocally as a right-wing populist. If there is one thing guaranteed to make liberal democrats sit up and take notice it is the idea that the United States, for many a venerable bastion of liberal democracy, is now part of a new and highly unexpected populist landscape.
